Review Award Notice

If you — as a newly accepted student — applied for financial aid and submitted all verification information that was requested you should expect to receive an award notice from Purdue Division of Financial Aid (DFA) in late February or early March. This will be sent to your Purdue.edu email address, which you gain access to by activating your career account. The email notification directs students to view their financial aid offer online in their myPurdue system under the Financial tab. Notifications will also be sent to parents who supplied a parent email address on the FAFSA. Families can review the recorded Paying for Purdue Award Notice Webinar online as an additional resource.

As you review the award notice and Purdue Financial Aid Terms and Conditions, keep in mind that grants and scholarships are types of gift aid that do not need to be repaid. Loans and work-study are types of self-help financial aid that must be repaid either in money or labor.

Current students receive their award notices in myPurdue and will not receive one in the mail.
